Ivan Fuldauer 75 East Wacker Drive - Chicago 1 < RAndolph 6-2891 CAPTION FOR PHOTO: (Left to right) Bob Peterson, owner-builder of the "Grizzly Brake Special" sponsored by the Maremont Corporation, Chicago, explains the operation of the car's conventional brake system to Herb Hill, former sprint car champion, who has been assigned to drive the vehicle in this Sunday's running of the "Rex Mays Memorial 100-Mile" event at the. Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee. Most "big cars" utilize a disc brake system, but since the improvements in the friction materials used in today's brake linings, Peterson felt that use of a con ventional system would give his driver better braking control on the short straightaways and tight turns of Milwaukee's paved one-mile track. uu .a7 ^a 6462 MAR 002681 MAR 02682 MAR 002683 MAR 002684 MAR 002685 GRIZZLY BRAKE DIVISION 168 Nprth Michigan Avenue Chicago 1, Illinois For Further Information: THE PUBLIC RELATIONS ECARD, INC.

Avenue Chicago 1, Illinois For further Information: THE PUBLIC RELATIONS BOARD, INC. Chicago Ivan Fuidauer 75 East Wacker Drive RAndolph 6-2891 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAPTION NINE: A new hair spring-design valve spring has been developed by Peterson for the "Grizzly Brake Special" to perform with the engine's short 2, 540 stroke to eliminate valve surge at revolutions-per-minute up around the 8,000 mark. Harmonic distortion that is present in con ventional valve springs at these high RPH's have been known to cause com plete spring failure. Turning rates as high as 11,000 RPM's may be realized, but the engine is expected to operate reliably at the 8,000 RPM level. 32362 mm MAR 002690 MAR 002691 GRIZZLY BRAKES PUT TO Ti Chicago Auto Stated for:`500 Former Chicago auto racer Pat Flaherty is captain of the team that will enter "a torture laboratory on wheels" in the -Hth annua! 500 mile classic at Indianapolis on Memorial day. .

It was built by Bob Peterson of Chicago, but never saw the light of the race track itself because it was not ready be fore qualifying time ran out. Peterson had incorporated axles, working on the theory he would have less change in his front to rear weight distri bution when' the tank emptied during the race. And he had made stabilizer bars of various sizes, intending to control chassis handling with these rather than jacking the weight started from in the first place some unusual features in the around by changing the torsion --utilizing brake drums. chassis in that the engine was bar settings as is done with The machine which is par mounted off the linear axis other Speedway roadsters. ticipating in this rather star of the frame so the block tling trial is the Grizzly Brake angled from left to right.

THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR [ The Grizzly Brake Spe dal. however, could start design thinking along an other path, as the ear is be ing sponsored by the Maremont Corp, of Chicago which makes a new "DD" Silvertlp brake lining that the company says is better than anything yet devised. Previously, the drum brakes were subject to fade and, as their temperature went up their efficiency fell off. But recent development of sintered linings have eliminated this fade and in fact cause the efficiency to rise as the linings get hot. These linings on Che Grizzly Brake Spl. wilt oper ate as high a 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and are used in 1 conjunction with aluminum ' drums having cast iron liners.

Twenty-two race cars will crowd their way around one-hundred laps of brake abusing turns at speeds up to 150 MPK. Many of the Indianapolis Speedway drivers will be present on June 10th to continue the contest of speed. Herb Hit I will make his 1962 USAC`debut in the GRIZZLY BRAKE SPECIAL. The Milwaukee track Is considered by many to be the toughest-fest for brakes In the country. The small size of the track makes high speed trafficaconstant threat to drivers. Reliable brake performance for the duration of the race can be the most deciding factor between victory or defeat-. Pat Flaherty, team captain of the GRIZZLY BRAWI SPECIAL has agreedto cane out of retirement to road-test the car in Milwaukee, Flaherty announced his retirement from the racing circuits after his 1959 appearance at the Indianapolis "500". There, he lead the field for over 100 laps before being forced to the sidelines because of engine problems. He will attempt to drive the car at Milwaukee and make all the critical adjustments on the car's suspension before Herb Hill takes over. GRIZZLY BRAKES are constantly being put to the test in the laboratory, on the highway and on the track to keep abreast of the motoring world's ever changing demands in better friction materials.
